My name is Kriston Haynes and I am a proud alumnus of Western Carolina University and Piedmont College. During my time there as a student, I was involved in many organizations that helped me grow personally and professionally. My studies and activities all helped me become who I am today and make me a better teacher for the state of North Carolina.
Some of my most memorable moments were working with peers and mentors in the Department of Residential Living. They were my family and I learned so much from them that has translated into other aspects of my life. I gained new skills on how to be creative, how to confront issues, and how to work with a community of partners to create a better place for everyone.
The best advice I could give anyone is to get involved in an organization that you care about and will help you grow. Try out anything that interests you or maybe you haven't experienced before. That's the beauty of college! Get out there and try new things because opportunities like that are hard to come by once you leave school and the lessons you learn from them will carry you a long way.
